I recently tried something new – entering a painting in an Online Art Exhibit. It’s an interesting concept… entries are sent in as digital images (according to what is defined in the rules as acceptable) and the show is judged in the same way as a conventional ‘hang-in-a-gallery’ type of art exhibition. With an online show, the nice part for the selected artists is that you don’t need to ship your painting, the digital image just gets posted to a website where the show is displayed. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already sold the painting, how you’ve framed the painting or whether or not it is even framed. And my entry got accepted!
For the 2017 Online Exhibit of the Tennessee Watercolor Society, my recent watercolor painting “Volunteers” was one of 30 accepted from watercolor artists throughout our state. The juror was Sterling Edwards, described as ‘a contemporary watermedia master’. I’m proud to be included among such fine artwork. “Volunteers” is an original painting in watermedia on paper, and is for sale.
Check out the Online Exhibition on the Society’s website.
